Meeting Description:
Since Rizzi's (1997) original syntactic exploration of the sentential left periphery, the complexity of the domain at a clause's edge has received attention from linguists studying syntax, semantics and prosody. However, study of the cross-linguistic variety in clause boundaries, clause typing, and the information-structural use of peripheral positions has only scratched the surface.
Topics that the workshop will cover include but are not limited to: clause typing, complementation, discourse constraints on argument structure, information structure, and word order change as they pertain to the left periphery, sentence-initial positions, and the CP domain.
The workshop organizers are accepting two types of submissions: for individual participants or full panels.
Call for Participation:
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together linguists working on the ‘left edge’ of the sentence from a variety of theoretical backgrounds. We hope to facilitate dialogue between discourse theorists, semanticists, syntacticians, phonologists, and phoneticians to come to a better understanding of what is going on just above (syntactically) or just before (phonologically) the traditional IP domain.
We invite applications for individual participants in three scheduled panels:
Clause types and the syntax/semantics/pragmatics interface
Discourse properties of the left periphery
Clause boundaries and peripheries from a diachronic perspective
Applications should consist of a brief (200 word) description of what you would contribute to discussion on the panel’s topic, and your relevant research.
Submission deadline: March 15
Submissions should be sent as PDF attachments to esc53cornell.edu. Please include ‘Interfaces Workshop’ in the subject of your message.
Call for Panels:
We invite proposals for additional panels on any aspect of clause boundaries or the left periphery. Particularly welcome are panels that address phonological or phonetic aspects of the left-periphery, and panels that bring together participants that can bring new perspectives and new methodologies to bear on the study of the periphery.
Panels will be allotted 1 hour, and should focus on discussion among 3-4 participants. An open discussion with attendees will follow.
Applications should be submitted by a prospective moderator, supported by 2-4 additional participants who are engaged in research on the proposed topic and are prepared to speak about their research. The moderator should submit a description of the general topic, goals of the panel, and short descriptions of the relevant interests of each participant (maximum 1 page single-spaced).
Submission deadline: April 1
Submissions should be sent as PDF attachments to esc53cornell.edu. Please include ‘Interfaces Workshop’ in the subject of your message.
